What exactly constitutes non-licensed asbestos, and why is it common in homes across Staveley? Non-licensed ACMs are generally materials where the asbestos fibres are tightly bound within a matrix, making them less likely to release fibres if undisturbed. However, disturbance during renovation, demolition, or even general wear and tear can pose a significant risk. Common non-licensed materials we safely remove from properties in Staveley include:

• Asbestos Cement Products: This is perhaps the most prevalent, often found in garage roofs, shed roofs, corrugated sheets, soffit boards, fascias, rainwater pipes, and even flue pipes.
• Textured Coatings (Artex): Many ceilings and walls in older Staveley homes feature textured coatings containing chrysotile asbestos, which must be handled with care before re-plastering.
• Asbestos Floor Tiles and Adhesives: Vinyl and thermoplastic floor tiles, along with the black bitumen adhesive used to fix them, frequently contain asbestos.
• Asbestos Insulating Board (AIB) Panels: Some lower-density AIB panels in good condition may be treated as non-licensed if removal risks are low, though most AIB is licensable. We will always assess this carefully.

Even though these are 'non-licensed', the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) still mandates specific safety procedures for their removal, which our trained team in Derbyshire adheres to rigorously.
